Of course, Dolly has been leaning into her rock sensibilities much more over the last several years, which was evidenced on her 2023\u00a0Rockstar<\/em>\u00a0album, which featured mostly covers of rock classics along with features from legends like Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Mick Fleetwood, Steve Perry and so many more.<\/p>\n Actually, M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce bassist Nikki Sixx and guitarist John 5 lent their talents on the song \u201cBygones\u201d with Dolly, so she said she was thrilled to return the favor for the 40th anniversary of \u2018Home Sweet Home\u2019 in such a meaningful way:<\/p>\n \u201cIt was an honor and a joy working in the studio on M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce\u2019s 40th Anniversary re-release of \u2018Home Sweet Home.\u2019 I was so pleased that they would ask me to sing on such a classic.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n The band called it a \u201ccareer high\u201d to have an icon like Dolly on this special edition of \u201cHome Sweet Home\u201d:<\/p>\n \u201cFor an icon like Dolly Parton to sing on a song that has not only meant so much to us but to all the fans through the years, is a career high that means a lot to us.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n We couldn\u2019t be happier to celebrate the 40th anniversary of \u2018Home Sweet Home\u2019 in this special way, and we\u2019re excited to share this version of the song with all the Dolly and M\u00f6tley fans around the world.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n That we were able to unite with Dolly to raise awareness for homeless youth and the amazing work of Covenant House, which provides them safe housing and care, makes it even more special. We hope you\u2019ll enjoy \u2018Home Sweet Home\u2019 featuring Dolly Parton as much as Dolly and we enjoyed creating it.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n This song is part of a collection of singles coming on September 12th, which is called\u00a0From the Beginning<\/em>, and it\u2019s also the same day that the band will kick off their 10-show residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n Of course, the power ballad \u201cHome Sweet Home\u201d was originally released in 1985 on their\u00a0Theatre of Pain<\/em>\u00a0album, and again in 1991 on their\u00a0Decade of Decadence<\/em>\u00a0compilation album.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a bit of a wild pairing, but Dolly has always talked about how much her late husband Carl Dean loved rock, so I imagine she must\u2019ve felt drawn to this in a way to honor him or feel close to him since he passed just a few months ago in March. I actually enjoyed a lot of the songs on\u00a0Rockstar,<\/em>\u00a0and while they\u2019re obviously not the originals (they were all much younger then, obviously), it was fun and who else other than Dolly could get that much legendary talent on one project? It was special for that reason alone\u2026<\/p>\n I\u2019m a bit of rock girlie myself and I love all of that music too, so I will never be mad about something like this that includes my queen, Mrs. Dolly.<\/p>\n You can listen to the updated version of \u201cHome Sweet Home\u201d below.<\/p>\n \u201cHome Sweet Home\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"Dolly](\"https:\/\/www.whiskeyriff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/dollymotleycrue-770x507.jpg\")
